The King is back. After some medical problems a while back, King Diamond is touring the major European summer festival but also managed to slip in a few club gigs. Like the one in 013. The gig got riddled with confusion, after erroneous announcements that they would play a three hour set, shifts in the […]

Dutch Doom Day 5 @ Baroeg – 28/29 October 2006
This weekend was reserved for an extensive portion of doom metal music. In the Baroeg in Rotterdam (Rotterdoom), the fifth installment of the Dutch Doom Day festival took place. Fourteen bands played over a period of approximately sixteen hours. The first day started at 17.00 sharp with the relatively new Dutch doom metal band Abysmal […]
Bolt Thrower – Those still Loyal tour 2006 @ Patronaat, 5 February 2006
Bolt Thrower was touring Europe during the month of January and couple of days into February. The final show of this tour just as the first took place in the Netherlands. This gig was held in the Patronaat in Haarlem. A place I had never been before. I had been at the Rotterdam gig before, […]
Bolt Thrower – Those still Loyal tour 2006 @ Baroeg, 24-1-2006
After an interval of four years, Bolt Thrower is back with a new album titled ‘Those Once Loyal’ and a tour to promote it. On this tuesday night the band played in the Baroeg in Rotterdam. But before the warmasters themself took the stage, three support bands were given their chance to show what they […]
Dutch Doomday 7 @ Baroeg, 26 October 2008
Already the seventh installment of the Dutch Doom Day (DDD) took place in Rotterdam this year. And again filled with two days of doom metal in all its kinds and forms. Nevertheless I only went the second day, as there were few bands on day one that I was interested in. Opening were the partly […]
Mouring Beloveth @ Dynamo, 25 April 2009
So this was the second date of the Mourning Beloveth tour after the gig two weeks ago in the Baroeg. But this time all the three bands played longer and there was a local band opening.That local band was Faal whom I heard a lot of good about, and who sound pretty good on CD […]
Esoteric @ W2, Den Bosch, 26 March 2010
Esoteric is doing a really short European tour (about 5 gigs) of which one is in the Netherlands. In the W2 in Den Bosch to be precise. A venue I had never been before. With the extreme doom metal that Esoteric plays it was not to be expected that this would even be close to […]
Bolt Thrower @ Atak, Enschede, 29 April 2010
It’s has been more than 4 years since Bolt Thrower had done some serious touring apart from the 3 dates in 2008. So it was more than time for this British death metal band to tour Europe again (I know it has been more than 15 years ago they toured outside Europe). And traditionally, they […]
Ulcerate @ Merleyn, 3 February 2012
Ulcerate are one of the most interesting newer bands in the death metal scene, whom I only discovered last year. They went on a short European tour with only a single date in the Netherlands, so Nijmegen it had to be. And considering they are from New Zealand, I didn’t expect to have a second […]
diSEMBOWELMENT @ Gloppe 17 April 2012
In 1993, an album was released that is one of the definitive albums of the doom / death genre. And that isn’t from My Dying Bride, but the Australian Transcendence into the Peripheral diSEMBOWELMENT. Groundbreaking in every aspect, and at the time never heard before. I still rate it as one of my all time […]
